T-wheel project

[Butchman]

Last year I bought a nice set of 84/85 GN rims. I'm going to put them on my silver T. I use 320 then 600 and finally 1200 grit sand paper to get all the olixidation out. I polished out the aluminum. I painted them with Duplicolor wheel pain black satin and clear. I just followed the instructions. Came out pretty decent. I finally got some Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's put on. Now I need the warm weather to get here.

What did you use for cleaner to prep the painted area?

It's a lot of work, but they turned out beautful Butchman. For those not so handy and can't clean up those T-wheels, or perhaps just lazy like me, (oh yeah, there's a lot of those people ) bumper chrome silver paint or any shiny type silver spray can paint gets you this:

Thanks. I read your thread while doing my research. Yours turned out great.
